Reviews

"Roberta Kalechofsky is more than a scholar of the highest rank. She is a visionary and a poet. Her work consummately combines that marriage of passion and intellect, of the heart and the mind that is the hallmark of all liberation movements. Her writing inspires no less than it instructs. All who are privileged to read the fine essays collected here stand in her debt."

Tom Regan, author of The Case for Animal Rights

"...powerful and informative essays that analyze the question of the rights of animals and people. Her collective discussions are a lesson in the epistemology, theology, and history of the use of animals and people ostensibly for the purpose of furthering scientific knowledge. In relating this information, she also makes a statement on the construction and definition of science itself."

Deborah E. Moore, Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy, in Anthrozoos, Vol V, number 2.

"Roberta Kalechofsky is a phenomenon of our day....The search for real justice is a primary objective in most of her writings, which include both fiction and non-fiction....The essays are varied and most readable, indeed once started it is difficult to put the book down...."

The Jewish Vegetarian

"...an intriguing compilation of fourteen essays that explore historical, religious, and social perspectives on the animal rights movement that have heretofore not been adequately examined...."
